PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ Review

PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ Testing:

Part first-person shooter, part survival horror, Metro: Last Light is the follow-up to the extremely popular game Metro 2033. Developed by 4A games and published by Deepsilver, this game uses the 4A game engine. In this game, set a year after the missile strike on the Dark Ones, you continue on as Artyom as he digs deeper into the bowels of the Metro.

Settings:

DirectX 11

2x MSAA

Global settings = High

PhysX = Off

DOF = Off

FCAT Results:

1920x1080 5760x1080

1920x1080 5760x1080

Having the highest factory clock speeds of any of the R9 290X cards tested, you can see that the performance curve follows the clock speed; something I am sure will be shown through the majority of the results. The PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ delivers smooth gameplay with really tight frame time variances in this game.
